Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Our students this year are very engaged and creative. They enjoy telling stories and sharing ideas but are still working on developing those stories into writing and onto a page.

Many student's writing showed vast improvement when provided with this paper to write on.

Unfortunately, we only had access to 100 sheets of this paper to use for the school year. With students excited about writing, they can breeze through 100 pages in no time now!

Students' confidence significantly drops when using lined paper that does not have these special lines on it, and they tend to revert to old writing habits when not provided with these papers as their resource.

Having these papers would improve our writing time and quality and prepare students to begin third grade ready to learn about and write paragraphs! With these basic school supplies, our students' confidence in their writing will reach new levels!
